Oct 22	comment	Is it better to breathe through your nose or mouth when cycling? In low effort situation it's always the healthiest way to breath in through nose and breath out through mouth but it needs some time to get used to it. Those that do pilates will already be used to this technique. Likely joga guys as well.

Oct 21	comment	Is it better to breathe through your nose or mouth when cycling? I think that breathing through your nose is hardly enough because when you start grasping for air on some climb that raises your HR, you're trying to get as much air in your lungs as possible. Mouth usually gets that done quicker. :)
Sep 12	comment	How to significantly lower HR[avg] while improving performance output That's a great estimation which roughly sums up to between 1800km and 3500km per season in my country. Most amateurs cyclists push pedals for 4-5 months. Beginning and ending is not that intensive so I calculated as if 4 months with the same amount. And you're right about those enthusiasts that buy a bike and do the 50. In the second year that 20 ride is most likely some very steep hill that kills their legs and ambition for the next 2 months... :D I had a friend like that. :D
Sep 10	comment	How to significantly lower HR[avg] while improving performance output I know of others that have about 30k at the moment, but that doesn't mean that everyone else is doing that much. I think (and I suppose many would agree) that vast majority of cyclists do about 2k km per season. Maybe going to some competition. In my country that would mostly be one. The major one where about 6000 people turn up.
Sep 8	comment	How to significantly lower HR[avg] while improving performance output @Daniel: I'm loading data after the ride. I have my monitor tones turned off during a ride and don't look at it most of the time. I always try to ride on my feeling really. But as I analyse my data afterwards I can see there's room for improvement.
Sep 7	comment	How to significantly lower HR[avg] while improving performance output @Daniel: Yes for a normal aerobic regular training. But races are a different activity where participants tend to pus themselves. This particular climb is known to be first 10% on 80%HRmax, then 80% on 90%HRmax and the last 10% on 100%HRmax.

Sep 6	comment	How to significantly lower HR[avg] while improving performance output Well... :) I like being competitive even though I rank in the first third of participants. Usually. I'm glad I'm as fit as I am (compared to other comrades) but I strive to improve my times every year if I can. Keeping indoor winter training hard enough usually gives me good spring foundation so I don't start anew.

Sep 6	comment	How to significantly lower HR[avg] while improving performance output Th3 first 5 minutes were not climb yet. So climb was 50 min 55 sec and 7.11 mi long. And my weight is 67 kg and I'm 173 cm high. May I ask you how did you estimate (calculate?) power output? I'm curious...

Sep 6	comment	How to significantly lower HR[avg] while improving performance output I also edited my question a bit...
Sep 6	comment	How to significantly lower HR[avg] while improving performance output So your answer is what? Train harder and HR[avg] at the same level of performance/power will drop? Is that what you're saying? Because I've done a bit less than 2500km in the last 5 months or so. How much training will get me there? And can I expect my HR[avg] to drop from 180 to 160 on the same slope with same timing? or would that be just +-5 bpms or so?

Sep 6	comment	How to significantly lower HR[avg] while improving performance output Are you taking about HR[max] or HR[rest]? As much as I know resting heart rate falls with regular intensive exercise, doesn't it? Maximum still stays although your body output increases. So you can do more but heart rate stays the same. My HR[rest] is already quite low as it's 48bpm.
